Two Nice Recent Builds

There have been a couple nice builds going out at the start of this fall season and I wanted to share a couple eye candy photos of them. Even a short test ride displayed the ride quality top end components and frames have to offer. Parts List after each set.

This is really neat to build since we had some challenging times with the rim brake model earlier in the year. Once the front brake dilemma was figured out, it was a matter of following a series of steps, but the pre-routed lines through the frame wer only marginally difficult to correctly measure and feed through the stem and the handlebar. The routing was pretty tight, but not kinked due to it being hydraulic rather than cable actuated. The paint was really nice too with the minimalist fading of grey and black.

This bike felt so nice to take on the test ride before a final fitting. It felt responsive and quick with a total sense of confidence in handling. I felt zero ‘twitchiness’ and the wheels and frame absorbed the rough Arling pavement with ease. The brakes can stop on a dime and still maintain a nice interval of modulation when descending.
